Things to Know
Basically, there are two different ways to use Remote Access. You can provide support to customers or access isolated computers.
a) Connect with a code (remote support)
The idea is to connect to the client without having to make firewall changes or deal with other restrictions. It’s as simple as possible. By sharing the code with the client, you can connect to anyone with an internet connection.
b) Connect with a password (isolated access)
Instead of using a code, you can have permanent access to computers by installing a remote access agent on any Windows, Mac, or Linux computer. Once isolated access is set up, your computers will appear in your control panel, allowing you to connect using an access password.
(Alternative for “isolated access” if preferred: standalone access)
